Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation: You have to brake down the two, dividing it by 2, which equals to 1. Then, divide the 12 by the same amount as you divide the 2, which is 6. Here you go.

Weird question wording. I take it should mean that this is a quadratic equation with solutions of x = -5 and x = 8. Then these are the factors: (x+5) and (x-8).
So

(x+5)(x-8) = 0 is the equation because x = -5 and x = 8 can make left-side equal to 0. But we expand so it becomes x² - 3x - 40 = 0

A TV costs $125.67 with a discount of 15% and 8.5% tax. What is the total that you will have to pay?

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The total you have to pay for the TV is $115.9

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a discount we have to make a substraction, when we have tax we have to sum so:

$125.67 * 15 % = 18.85

125.67 - 18.85 = 106.82

Now we have to add the tax

106.82 * 8.5% = 9.08

106.82 + 9.08 = 115.9

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 20% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 95% p

enot [183]

Answer:

14 pints of 20% juice

56 pints of 95% juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x be pints of 20% pure fruit juice, thus

70 - x will be pints of 95% pure fruit juice

The equation, thus can be written as:

20%x + 95% (70-x) = 80% (70)

Solving for x:

$(0.2)x + (0.95)(70-x) = (0.8)(70)\\0.2x+66.5-0.95x=56\\0.75x=10.5\\x=14$

And 70 - x would be 70 - 14 = 56

Thus,

14 pints of 20% juice is needed, and

56 pints of 95% juice is needed

Corey needs 24 boards that ate 47 1/ 2 inches long. How many feet of boards should he buy. Explain

Illusion [34]

If each board is going to be 47 and 1/2 inches long, and there'll be 24 of them, then their total is just their product.

keep in mind that there are 12 inches in 1 foot.

$\bf 24\cdot 47\frac{1}{2}\implies 24\cdot \cfrac{47\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies 24\cdot \cfrac{95}{2}\implies \cfrac{24}{1}\cdot \cfrac{95}{2}\implies \cfrac{2280}{2}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{inches}{1140}\implies 1140~\underline{in}\cdot \cfrac{ft}{12~\underline{in}}\implies \cfrac{1140~ft}{12}\implies 95~ft$
